Brown to taste, stirring as little as possible, then season with salt and set aside.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Prepare and chop 1 shallot.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Still in the same saucepan, pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and when hot add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper, stir and cook for 1 minute without browning.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Add 250 g Mascarpone and stir until melted.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste and mix well.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Finish by adding spinach and potatoes, stirring everything together, letting it warm up and checking the seasoning.
